Overview
- The Warriors remain on hold until the Kevin Durant trade is finalized, limiting their ability to negotiate Jonathan Kuminga’s restricted free agency or pursue other offseason moves.
- Eric Pincus outlined an unconfirmed three-team deal sending Kuminga to the Bulls while Golden State would receive Lonzo Ball, Jalen Smith, Josh Okogie and four future draft picks.
- Chicago has long been linked to Kuminga and emerges as a top suitor as Coby White is identified as a potential backcourt upgrade for Golden State.
- Head coach Steve Kerr has voiced doubts about Kuminga’s fit in his rotation and Kuminga himself is focused on becoming a multiple-time All-Star, underscoring uncertainty over his role.
- Should the Durant domino fall, the Warriors are also monitoring players such as Derrick White, Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, Jaylen Brown and Bobby Portis for roster depth.
